Application in the Sugar Industry

The sugar industry involves several stages where water clarification and contaminant removal are critical to ensure the quality and purity of the final product. The UF1OB90 ultrafiltration membrane plays a crucial role in:

1. Raw Juice Clarification: Removes suspended solids and microbial load before entering the evaporation phase, reducing fouling risks and improving thermal process efficiency.

2. Condensate Polishing: Treats process condensate for reuse, cutting down on fresh water requirements and improving sustainability metrics.

3. Color and Turbidity Reduction: Effectively retains colloidal matter and color-inducing impurities without the use of chemicals.

4. Pre-treatment for RO or Ion Exchange Systems: Acts as a reliable pretreatment step, reducing fouling rates in downstream polishing processes and enhancing operational stability.

Whether deployed in beet sugar or cane sugar operations, the UF1OB90 enhances the reliability and output of processing systems, reduces downtime, and supports strict quality standards.
